--> In order to understand conversion of Light Weight Access Point into Autonomous Access Point, you need to understand the names of operating systems used in access point.
--> Basically there are two types of operating systems are used in Access Point.
i) k9w7 --- indicates Autonomous AP operating system.
ii) k9w8--- indicates Light Weight AP operating system.
--> Each and Every IOS is stored in flash of Access Point with predefined name.( Platform-featureset-tar.version.tar)
i) platform indicates model number of wireless access point.
ii) featureset indicates type of operating system ( either autonomous or light weight).
iii) version indicates IOS version.
--> In order to convert LWAP to Autonomous Access point, we need to reset access point by clicking on Reset button on Access Point for 20 to 30 seconds.
--> Now Access Point by default will assign the IP address of 10.0.0.1 and it looks for tftp server for downloading IOS.
--> So before resetting Access Point. we need to have tftp server in the same subnet of access point (10.0.0.0/8) with appropriate IOS ( K9w7).
--> We can also convert LWAP to Autonomous Access Point without resetting Access Point, for that we need to login into AP and use archive command.
